I am not quite sure if you are referring to the American Revolution or the War of 1812, but since you stated "US" as in United States, it must be the War of 1812 since the U.S. was not yet established during the Revolutionary War. The United States was a particularly new-born nation, with little respect from the surrounding nations, the more established nations. After the American Revolution, there were still great tensions between Britain and the infant America. Britain could be compared to a bully during this period. Hence why this war is considered the "Second War for Independence". The main causes of the war were the impressment of American seamen by the Royal Navy, Britain's attempt at suppressing American trade, and America's desire to expand its territory.
